A "Dukes of Hazzard" star took to social media to applaud an Edmond Public Schools student who faced pushback–then support–for flying the American flag on his vehicle. | RELATED VIDEO ABOVE | Edmond group flies American flag in support of studentJohn Schneider, who played Bo Duke in the series, posted a video on Facebook, where he called the student out by name. "I want to applaud Caleb Horst and all of the wonderful people who are supporting him in Edmond, Oklahoma," Schneider said. "Everyone who has shown up with flags on their trucks and flags on their cars, these are the kinds of people we need to not only support but shout their names and their patriotism from our rooftops and from our bumpers." Edmond Public Schools officials told Horst last week that he couldn't fly the flag from his truck. The district said it’s a practice for students not to fly any flags on campus, but it’s not a policy. "This is designed to prevent disruptions and distractions during the school day. It is also done in an effort to provide a safe school environment as flying flags on vehicles creates safety issues in the parking lot as well as can cause damage to other vehicles," Edmond Public School officials said. "To be clear, this is not about the American flag or patriotism. Edmond Public Schools proudly displays the American flag prominently and in the proper, respectful way outside each of our buildings and in our classrooms. Not only do we recite the Pledge of Allegiance every morning as we start our school day, but we also present the colors and play the national anthem at most of our athletic events. All of these things are done in the proper fashion according to flag etiquette."After informing Horst of the practice, several students and community members participated in demonstrations where they drove around with American flags on their vehicles. The students said they plan to continue flying the flag. "Hello, Edmond, Oklahoma," Schneider said. "You're getting it all right.
